Wow. Amazon’s stock just hit $950, Q1 2017 earnings topped $33bn and retailer after retailer is collapsing. Previously I wrote in #4 – Will Amazon take over the world?, that Amazon was destroying brick and mortar retailers. A refresh of the analysis, highlights the trend is not slowing down. Amazon’s revenue in 2012 (60bn) vs. 2016 (140bn) against 9 large retailers (best buy, sears, macy’s, jc penny etc.) highlights this incredible change in the retail landscape.
